A very nice family run hotel in Cardiff. Staff were excellent, very accomodating. Good size room/bathroom offering bathtub/shower, complimentary coffee/tea/biscuits also provided. Beds very comfortable. Excellent location, right in the centre of Cardiff, 20 min walk to Cardiff Bay which is recommended, a lovely area. Would definately return if we find ourselves in Cardiff!!!

Perfect Hotel in perfect location

Stayed here for 1 night so I could attend an Alice Cooper concert. The hotel was ideally located in the city centre, close to shops, bars and restaurants and a short walk from the concert venue. The lady on reception was really friendly and helpful. The room was adequate, clean and tidy. Most importantly it had a kettle with tea and coffee. I will definitely stay here again when i return to Cardiff
